US Women's Football Legend Alex Morgan Tips USMNT for World Cup Success

Alex Morgan, a legend of the U.S. women's national team, has shared her thoughts on the upcoming 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. Having played in three World Cups and won two of them, Morgan knows what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage. She has also competed in three Olympics, giving her a wealth of experience to draw from. Now retired from professional football, Morgan remains involved in the sport as an investor in women's sports and the founder of media company Togethxr. She is also a full-time soccer mom. In a recent interview with GOAL, Morgan discussed the pressure and expectations facing the USMNT ahead of the World Cup. 'I've been both a bench player and a starter in World Cups, and things can change so quickly,' Morgan said. 'You can literally be player No. 26, or you can be the first player that's always called up, and it can change based on your opponent, based on the rhythm of the team, and who plays well together. So just be ready. Always be ready.' Morgan will be attending all of the USMNT's World Cup games in Los Angeles and believes the team has the potential to make a deep run in the tournament. 'I feel like they're gonna go far,' she said. Morgan has partnered with several brands connected to the World Cup, including DraftKings, where she serves as an ambassador. 'This summer is obviously one of the biggest events in the world,' Morgan said. 'I am an ambassador of DraftKings, and it's great to see them also investing in female athletes for such a major event like this.' Morgan's message to the USMNT is simple: start strong. 'I think the first game is the most important game for them to make their mark,' she said. 'They can't have to catch up and work their way into the tournament. They have to make a strong statement in game one.'
